Shoeg. We Are The AI Resynthesizers
Presentation of virtual space for Realities in Transition
Carlos Martorell (Shoeg) is a Barcelona-based sound and visual artist known for his exploration of the complex relationships between humans and technology. His diverse work encompasses a wide range of research topics, including instruments and interfaces, gestures and biometric data, biomusicology, video games and nature.
The project We Are The AI Resynthesizers has been conceived by the artist specifically as a space for RiT (Realities in Transition) events. Its creation explores the relationship between the irruption and progress of artificial intelligence and creative processes that remain exclusively human. In it, AI has assumed an assistant role through text-to-image and image-to-image processes, becoming a tool for investigating and revisiting the 2K aesthetic and merging it with other speculative discourses on nature that Shoeg is currently investigating.
We Are The AI Resynthesizers has been developed using open source software such as Blender, GIMP and Inkscape, along with other tools such as Invoke, AFrame and Stable Diffusion. Right now, it is hosted to be visited in multiplayer format in Overte.org.
Overte is an open source virtual worlds and social VR software which enables you to create and share virtual worlds as virtual reality (VR) and desktop experiences. You can create and host your own virtual world, explore other worlds, meet and connect with other users, attend or host live VR events, and much more. It is managed by a NGO and its international community is very lively in Discord
